'Hello Rosie & Crystal & #Jade - yes, yes, I do have treats for you. Ouch, carful of my arm. Oh look, there's Onyx at the back. Here's yours too. What good girls you are. Isn't it wonderful, Gabe? The baby dragons have come back to visit.
Gulp. 'They grew, Pixie.'

'Pixie, why is your slug vivarium flooded?'
'Well, Gabe, I saw an #undersea slug - bigger & juicier than the garden variety. So I polished off the old inhabitants (delish) & ta da, imported these splashy upgrades. Care for a taste?'
'Hurk...retch...'
#vss365
Yum! 😂
He has learned her tricks. She'll have to come up with some new ones.
'Tea, Gabe?'
'What #trickery is this, Pixie?'
'Just tea.'
'Lies! No doubt a fake eyeball marinated in troll snot will pop up when I stir it. The milk will be gnats' pee. The sugar, troll dandruff. No! I shall have coffee.'
'Fine.'
'...what have you done to the coffee?'
#vss365
'Oh, Gabe. I should have guessed. You'd ace angel exams.' Giggle. 'Did you get a little robe & a shiny diploma?'
'There is an #investiture, Pixie, where I received my halo.'
'Really? You're not born with it?'
'Think, Pixie. My mother would strongly object.'
'Oh... Ow!'
#vss365
'Gosh, look at that #seafoam, Gabe.'
'Too rough for this ridiculous floating tea party, Pixie.'
'What? Course not! The selkies will create a calm patch. I just need a lift.'
'My feathers will get wet!'
'There'll be brownies.'
'...well, if the selkies are counting on us.'
#vss365
Mine’svanished again too! Let’s hope it will sort itself out eventually
Mine went wonky too. Back up now.
'Have you seen the weather, Pixie? It's all down to Thor. In a right strop, he is. Lost his #hammer. Had us all searching - even used a lie detector to make sure we were telling... Pixie... What's that?'
'Thor's hammer, Gabe. I had some DIY to do. Figured I'd borrow it.'
#vss365
'Don't take my #word, Gabe. I've got picture evidence I didn't steal the last brownie. See.'
'Pixie, that's a stick figure drawing.'
'Live, in action art by Rachel. See me leaving, brownie-less.'
'Fine.' Scribbles. 'Here's you eating it.'
'Post-event evidence. Objection!'

Picture of books and funny snippet from book one about Pix and Gabe.
Gabe was soooo annoying when I first met him. Why wouldn't I take every chance to annoy him! 😃

🕷️😆😆🙏
'Look, Gabe, Rachel's learning her #letters.'
'She's a spider, Pixie. She can't speak, let alone write.'
'Says you.'
'Fine. Get her to spell something.'
'I will. Rachel, tap out a word using these cards.'
G-R-A-N-K-Y.
'Granky is not a word.'
Giggle. 'Cranky. Grumpy. You.'
#vss365
'Pixie. That rare plant you gave me is smoking.'
'That's strange, Gabe. The Rabid Desert Fern is safe... unless you #water it.'
'It's a plant! I watered it.'
'Ah, that's the problem. We'd better get out before it explodes.'
'But... my house?'
'Hmm... hope you're insured.'
#vss365
'Pixie! This prank is an outrage.'
Giggle 'You're voice is so squeaky, Gabe.'
'Stop laughing. I nearly #sank for good.'
'At least you're clean.'
'I could have drowned!'
'Hey, I didn't know you were planning a bath when I slipped the shrinking potion in your tea.'
#vss365 #sink
Thank you, Eileen. 😃
'Gabe, I know you love to #sing, & choir practice is important, but now I've got a stonking headache. Could you keep it down.'
'La la la. Is that better, Pixie?'
'A bit more.'
'La la.'
'Another tiny bit.'
'La.'
'Almost.'
'-'
'Perfect.'
'I was silent?'
Giggle. 'Exactly.'
#vss365
😂 It’s a common problem!
'The mirror doesn't lie, Gabe. You can't be #blind to the truth. All those brownies are starting to show on your hips.'
'My hips, Pixie! You can talk - the last brownie thief.'
'Hey, I've got a very high metabolism. And these leggings... they just shrank in the wash.'
#vss365
😆😆🙏
'I'm looking forward to the last brownie with my tea, Pixie.'
'Wouldn't #bank on it, Gabe.'
'Pixie, I locked it in a safe, chained it, buried it in the underworld & set Cerberus to guard it. It'll be there.'
'Don't forget you bound it with angel glyphs.'
'What? How do you know that?!'
Giggle
#vss365
'I'm excited to see your new #ink, Gabe.'
'What ink, Pixie?'
'You bragged last night - 3 Babychams at the Angel Arms, then you asked goblin for a tattoo.'
'I... I'd never do that.'
'What's that on your arm then?'
'A unicorn! This is your doing! Get back here, you menace.'
Giggle.
#vss365
😆😆🙏
'I think I see him. Is that a wing? Now a halo? An #arm? Oh - gone under again. Yay. There he is. You came up for air, Gabe.'
'Pixie! Help! Get this mountain of pixlings off me.'
'But you're all having so much fun, Gabe.'
'FUN! They're trying to-'
'And... he's gone under again.'
#vss365
'Give me your #hand, Gabe. I'm practicing palm reading for the pixie fete. Oh, interesting. Patience line? A bit stumpy. Kindness? Not bad. Frown line? Huge. Humour line? Missing. Entirely. But this one's perfect - you buying me a brownie.'
Hmph. 'Clearly false, then.'
#vss365
Oh no!
‘You start with a layer of #sand for drainage. Top it up with earth. Mix in some potatoes peelings. And there you have a perfect worm habitat, Gabe.’
‘Pixie, you still haven’t explained why you need to keep worms.’
‘Didn’t I? Saves digging time when I make pixie spaghetti.’
#vss365
'I don't believe you, Pixie.'
'What? Why not, Gabe?'
'It's too simple. If your excuse had involved tea drinking dragons, a gorgon with an inferiority complex, or a phoenix who was scared of fire, that would have a #ring of truth. But... you just overslept? I don't buy it!'
